The basics.

Although you should you following a balanced diet some of us can be quite fussy in what we will and wont eat, so making sure youre getting all of the basic vitamins and minerals essential for a fit and healthy body is an absolute priority. Look for a combined one-pill-a-day multivitamin and mineral supplement that will ensure youre getting the daily recommended minimum dosages of all those essential vitamins and minerals to keep your body in top condition. Keep in mind that whilst your body will absorb and retain some minerals and vitamins it will also flush others out of your body. Fish oils contain what are referred to as essential Omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce the risk of heart disease and help to keep your joints working as they have an anti-inflammatory quality – all of which can be important when increasing your exercise regime to get fit. Look for a fish oil supplement, probably in the form of a capsule, that will deliver 1000mg of EPA/EHA daily.
